Chapter 141 The LOGO presses the whistle, the head iron coach!
After scoring 5 goals in a row, Chen Yan’s hot start icon lights up again!
The Raptors didn't make any targeted adjustments defensively, and they were a bit open to attack.
It's not that Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell doesn't want to defend, it's just that he really can't.
The Raptors' interior combination of Bosh and Bargnani is recognized as the softest interior line in the league. In addition, point guard Calderon's defense is also terrible.
It is very difficult to defend well with such a lineup. It is understandable that the Raptors focus on offense. Generally speaking, the Raptors' offensive method is somewhat similar to that of the Suns. They are both teams that focus on shooting and shoot a lot of three-pointers.
The Raptors also have a group of high-quality shooters, and a confrontation with the Suns may have unexpected results.
"Whoa!"
In the Raptors' offensive round, Bosh made a single inside the axis to attract double teams and then cleverly distributed the ball. Anthony Parker hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner!
12 to 9!
Anthony Parker is the MVP of the European League. Years of playing in Europe have allowed him to develop precise three-pointers. This season, his three-point shooting rate has reached 43%. He will never take advantage of such open opportunities.
Soft-handed.
Sun attack round.
Chen Yan runs without the ball, and Immortal Nash guides him!
The moment Chen Yan crosses the three-point line and the ball arrives, Nash can always find the optimal passing route!
Anthony Parker stretched out his hand to break the ball, and the ball passed by his fingertips.
Anthony Parker only regretted that he was so short by a few centimeters...
Chen Yan grabbed the ball and headed towards the basket. This time, in addition to Bargnani, Bosh also rushed towards Chen Yan!
The two Raptors insiders are preparing to open the door for Chen Yan with a double ghost!
Chen Yan's offensive performance in the beginning made him the player with the highest hatred value on the Suns. When he got the ball, he naturally attracted the attention of all Raptors defenders!
Just when all the fans were looking forward to whether Chen Yan could completely dunk over the heads of the two Raptors insiders, he gently shook his big hand and threw the ball into the air.
Toss?
No, it’s an alley-oop!
Bosh and Bargnani looked back and saw that Stoudemire had already taken off!
Then there was a deafening sound of a frame exploding!!!
"Beautiful! Beautiful!"
After landing, Xiao Si slapped Chen Yan's butt twice.
Stoudemire was a little surprised. He didn't expect Chen Yan to choose to pass the ball.
You must know that Chen Yan hit all 5 shots before the game started. If he was in such good condition, he would definitely choose to continue working alone.
Although Chen Yan has explosive scoring ability, he is not unique in his play. He may reduce the number of passes when his touch is strong, but when his teammates are absolutely open, he will definitely choose to pass the ball out.
...
...
Soon, the court time came to the last 25 seconds of the first quarter.
At this time, the Phoenix Suns led the Toronto Raptors by 6 points, 31-25.
Chen Yan scored 21 of the team's 31 points. Nash showed signs of being tired of shooting after consecutive empty cuts. He only took one shot in the first quarter and focused all his energy on passing the ball and connecting the team.
Chen Yan could only digest all the Suns' outside shots with tears in his eyes.
The final possession of the first quarter was in the hands of the Raptors.
Pierce dribbled the ball from outside with his head shaking, constantly consuming the attack time of the round.
Pierce is very experienced. This kind of buzzer-beating attack will consume time until the last second even if he misses the shot, leaving no time for you to attack.
With 6 seconds left in the attack time of the round, Pierce started to challenge Laga Bell!
Just when Laga Bale was trying his best to guard against Pierce's retreat, Pierce did his signature shoulder shake!
Although Pierce's jump shot is not very high, he is very good at using this kind of combination of real and fake actions to gain space for himself.
"Whoa!"
Hit the free throw line from mid-range!
31 to 27.
It was a buzzer beater, but not quite a buzzer beater.
Pierce also left the Suns with 1.6 seconds of attack time.
Just as Pierce was high-fiving his teammates in celebration, the Suns made a quick start from the bottom line.
Chen Yan crossed the half court to catch the ball, and Anthony Parker failed to intercept the ball in the air.
One step forward from the center circle, where the logo is, Chen Yan took a sniper shot!
"Bang!"
"Whoa!"
The basketball drew a long parabola in the air, hit the inner frame and bounced directly into the net!
34 to 27!
The ball goes in, the whistle blows, and time is up!
In the middle of celebrating with his teammates, Pierce suddenly froze on the spot. Is my goal a foreshadowing for your buzzer beater?
Chen Yan spread his hands and shrugged in front of the broadcast camera. Let me shoot?
baffling!
Chen Yan's three-pointer also made the fans' adrenaline surge up.
"Chen Yan is too exaggerated tonight, can this guy even enter?"
"I feel like shooting, the basket was as wide as the ocean in his eyes tonight!"
"The sea? It's like the universe!"
"Q: What can you do in 1.6 seconds? Answer: It's enough for Chen Yan to cum once."
"With 24 points in a single quarter, Chen Yan is going crazy in this game!"
...
...
The second quarter starts soon.
D'Antoni did not send Chen Yan to lead the Suns' second lineup as usual.
Chen Yan played the entire first quarter. No matter how much Mustache liked to beat the main force, he would still let him take a break.
The Suns' bench did not get any advantage in the second quarter, and the Raptors' bench was not inferior to the Suns on paper.
TJ Ford, Kapono, and Jamario Moon are all very distinctive players.
At 8 minutes and 7 seconds into the game, Chen Yan came back on stage!
At this time, the score on the court was 44 to 39, and the Suns still led.
Seeing Chen Yan standing on the sidelines, there was a lot of applause.
They were all sent by Chinese spectators. Some of the Chinese spectators present were old fans, and some knew nothing about basketball and came purely to support Chen Yan.
Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell saw Chen Yan coming on the court and did not give any special defensive instructions.
Although Chen Yan was in explosive form, the point difference between the two sides did not widen, and the Raptors still clung to the score.
Sam Mitchell is very confident in his tactics. His purpose is to help the team win the final victory, rather than to limit the scoring of a certain opponent's player.
This is not the first time that the Raptors coach has been so stubborn. Sam Mitchell thought the same way when Kobe Bryant scored 81 points on them last season...
